Forums - Sales Discussion - Global Hardware/Software Dec 24th up

3DS might just hit 15 million before the end of the year :D Congrats to all consoles. PS3's over 60 million, 360 might just hit 65 million before the year ends, Wii a little more to 95 million. Vita KEEP UP.

Great sales all around,except for Vita.
It's been a great year for gaming!



wow at the 3ds sales. bigN once again proving a lot of reviewers, experts, specialists and analysts wrong. it is impressive how nintendo manages to push their platforms almost all alone with software.
aonther congrats to pc - the star wars brand, combined with a well-reviewed game topping the software-charts telling: the pc is not so dead as often thought ;) wondering what impact kinect star wars will have.



So, 3DS will be the best selling console of the year?



pwin´ every other villain since 1994

Could very well be.  Though, I'd wait til NPD and shipment numbers from Nintendo/Sony before calling it just yet.  Though, with Media Create showing how well its doing in Japan (and will do next week), even if it gets some adjustments it may still be on top.

The 360's Americas numbers are utterly ridiculous!

Ugh, source proving he can't estimate for toffee .. again.

Wii 10m next year and 360 11 mill? He wishes. X360 will end up outshipping the Wii every Q this year (2.2m) so far this year with potential to top 3 mill.

Still why am I surprised, Source expected X360 to be massively down in the US this year, and for the Wii price cut to push it to nigh on 300/400k a month up until xmas, look how that turned out

Once again he'll be dissappointed.

No one has mentioned the obviously overtracked pre-orders for the Old Republic? This is almost becoming a "thing".


Overtracked? - vg had preorders for US at less than 1 mill.

Preorders:

1 Star Wars: The Old Republic PC 1 18,715 958,073

Sales:

1
Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC)
Electronic Arts, RPG
1 967,764 967,764

Do you seriously believe only 10.000 people bought the game without preordering it? And that preorders amounted for 99% of FW sales...


Considering that myself and nearly everyone in my guild bought online(DD) for early game access while we were in beta - yes. This is a pc only online mmo after all.

Even WoW expansions have much lower preorders than first weeks. Arbitrary evidence is not enough.

Wow didn't have early access  - so that makes your point moot. And you're not a pc gamer and don't live in the US. If you buy brick and mortar you pay 8% or more sales tax - you don't online.
